Ok, got atheros 5005 MiniPCI working, also using 10.4.7 JaS.edit: please note you have to have your wireless/airport device as en1, in my case my built in ethernet takes en0 so it works out fine. (make change in /library/systemconfiguration/networkinterfaces.plist)

then you have to go to System Preferences>Networka message should pop up telling you you have a new AirPort. from the Show: box, pick AirPort. you can set the options here, i suggest you check the Show airport status in menu bar, make sure you click apply now.

Hmmm I got a Module is not installed properly dialog, subsequently I get A.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions).But I followed the instructions to the letter LOLAny advice?Thanks!

All I can suggest is that you run Disk Utility and repair permissions again, then manually double-check the permissions on each of the .kexts and the contents (ls -l). They should be 755 (_rwxr-xr-x). Dunno, sometimes the OSX does some weird stuff and gives errors where there should be none/changes permissions on its own .

Hey guys,

I have an Acer 2482, with an Atheros AR5005G WiFi Airport, I followed the instructions, everything went well, only that I don't have the NetworkInteraces.plist where it should be... Could someone please paste it's contents here? I'm totally new to everything concerning osx... And I really Really want to make it work. I started with WiFi, I'm going to take a look at the ethernet card now, until I get an answer...

"Backup your /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext"
what?????????????????
help!!!! i restarted the computer, and now he shows me panic message while he charges the system! no way to run other installers! not even the win xp one! !
i did all the procedure for the kext, i took it, overwrited the old io80211family.kext,repaired with disk utility, inserted the commands on the terminal, but he said that there was an error charging the extension
tried with -v, he says that there's an error on the io80211family.kext extensions, goes on charging, and then stops everything... i try to run the 10.4.5 jas on a dvd but he makes blue screen and stays like that

he works with -x i'm using disk utility to repair the extensions THANKS FOR HELP -.-"
